The Short Mining Circuit starts from the parking lot at the end of Crișan Street, then turns sharply to the right onto a forest road. 

We leave behind the first tourist panel at Mina Boului (Ox Mine), and after 20-30 meters, on the left, we follow the marked path toward the Blue Lake. 

From the tourist path, we follow the arrow to the right and the mining symbol markings (yellow mining hammers), which will lead us to four more historic galleries. 

We continue on the path marked with mining symbols, which gently winds upwards, and in 15 minutes, we will reach the Blue Lake. 

From the Blue Lake, we follow the path to the left, then adjust our direction according to the signs and yellow markings toward the Crăpătura Zorilor. 

On the return, we go back to the Crăpătura Zorilor sign and turn right, descending along the blue dot, back to the parking lot where the trail begins.
